In this inspirational memoir about the intersection of race, fame, and food, he shares the remarkable story of his culinary coming-of-age; a powerful, heartfelt, and shockingly honest account of chasing your dreams--even when they don't turn out as you expected.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKwame Onwuachi is the James Beard Award-winning executive chef at Kith\/Kin in Washington, D.C.
